Lake Erie and representatives of the Federal Water Pollution Control Ad-ministration
have resulted in the establishment of minimum requirements
for wastewater treatment for all who discharge into waters of the Lake
Erie Basin.
The Lake Erie Report published in August 1968, by the Department of 1n-terior,
Federal Water Pollution Control Administration,·Great Lake Region,
outlines what is referred to in the report as an "ambitious plan" to
slow down the eutrophication being experienced in Lake Erie. The Report
states;
"The five Lake Erie Basin States should begin or accelerate
programs to devise methods to deal with the problems of
storm and combined sewer overflows. By 1980 all cities
should have eliminated pollution (including nutrients)
caused by urban runoff and combined sewer overflows. All
outlets to surface waters should then be disinfected and
directed away from recreational areas."
PURPO SE OF TREATI1ENT
Combined sewage discharges to the stream occur whenever the mixture of
sanitary sewage and storm runoff in a combined sewer flows at a rate
greater than can be diverted through an interceptor sewer to a treatment
plant. This condition exists during any period of appreciable rainfall
because of the great variation in volume of water generated by rainfall as
compared to volumes of sanitary sewage ordinarily produced. (e.g. A 1/2
inch rainfall on a typical house and lot results in as much water fall-ing
thereon as is used by the household and discharged as sanitary sew-age
in nearly 3 we~ks.) Combined sewage overflows vary appreciably in
quality as well as in quantity. The first volumes of discharge after
